"But what Private Albert Jones wants to remember later on, when his wife drags his moth-eaten ODs or suntans out of the closet for the annual Veteran's Convention, is not the danger and the drawn-out boredom of his fighting and his work. He wants to remember his magic carpet travels in the Orient - the time he flew over the Hump, the strange animals he'd never seen before, the nice smilling faces of his Chinese friends, the wild jungle country around the Ledo Road, and the splendor and squalor of India. ... It's a souvenir booklet for Pvt Albert Jones, all about the CBI things he wants to remember." ; 93 pages.
